Hacking VitaShell Themes

[Madridi]

Hey all,

I was hunting down some themes last night for vitashell. I made a pack of them all and figured I would share it with the community.

I take no credit for these. They were all made by different designers on the scene. I just fixed context.png for a couple of themes and put them all in a pack to share with the scene.

Installation:
- Extract "theme" folder to ux0:/vitashell/
- Press start on vitashell menu and change theme to whatever you want, then select "restart Vitashell"

Enjoy

Those themes needed another update with the addition of some new entries in one of the latest vitashell updates. I have marginally changed some to get rid of the side bar and use the native side bar on vitashell, with a color change to fit the overall menu look, which looks better in my opinion. I'll share the new theme pack later.

Ok so, I think this the correct backup of my latest theme pack (I really need to clean my PC a bit): https://mega.nz/#!TZsWwZzB!gBwbf88gn4x5Mxwm6k__ukRhHqCo4eSVDJ3XYFi6h5s
Like I said, most of them have context.png and context_more.png removed, as the original vitashell sidebar look better. I changed the colors for those side items to match the overall themes.
Some themes however, have the 2 png files working very well with the overall look of the theme, for those, some adjustments were made to fit the new vitashell entries.

One more note: Electron theme is unfortunately hard coded in vitashell. You can't delete it or modify it. Therefore, changes made to that theme was made as a new theme that I called "Electron Land" (Lazy name cause the other theme was called Electron Sky )

As a bonus, here is an internal tool developed by my buddy @Rohul1997 .. It never saw a release because it's a quick and dirty tool that was made to do something specific with color choosing for the sidebars. This will help you choose better hex colors for any theme. Don't expect it to do anymore, as it's not a full-fledged theme editor:

Both links will be reflected in the OP
